Are you really think all American did not respect their old parents? I don't think so all Americans did. Anyway they didn't respect their kids but they do care about their kids. They show more attentions to their kids to grow to guide them. In the nature of life everybody needs to be respected and respected others.

depends where and who,some family respect old parents more than child.

Hello Yes it is a question of "culture"...

A young man from China who publiced on Italki answer board, he identified that it is the Chinese culture that the older people should learn on how to respected the young. I don't agree. American parents respect their children rather than their old parents? Where you have learnt this?

@your`s... then what do you think? children are robots produced by their parents? dont they have their own life to take decisions? ok i agree that today`s youth dose some mistakes....but if all americas respect their children just because of fear that their children will disrespect them in future...then all children are evil...american should be hell now...but no..america is still very good to live...!
